90s Bar 'Wannabe' Opens in Lincoln?
28 Oct
Summary
- A 90s-themed bar named Wannabe might open in Lincoln.
- The bar plans to open in December, featuring neon lights and music.
- A licensing application is currently under review by the council.
Lincoln city centre may soon be home to 'Wannabe,' a new bar designed around a 90s theme, named after the iconic Spice Girls hit. Developers have proposed the new establishment for the former Cognito restaurant location on Park Street, aiming for a December opening.
The bar is being promoted as a unique 90s throwback experience for Lincoln, featuring vibrant neon lighting and music from the decade. It is actively recruiting staff, indicating a readiness to launch should its plans be approved.
A crucial step involves a licensing application submitted to the City of Lincoln Council. This application seeks approval for modifications to the venue's floor layout and bar area. Residents have until November 4th to submit any comments regarding this application.
The premises were formerly occupied by Cognito, which closed its doors in January and subsequently relocated to the Pyewipe pub. The success of 'Wannabe' hinges on the upcoming licensing decision.
